I think that’s the expression that fits this situation. It’s happened to many of us, and although it’s upsetting when it does, we’re definitely well rid of companies who show so little respect for the people who’ve applied to work for them. Hopefully in your case you’ll find a better employer; I did, when I least expected it! Don’t lose heart.

The key to these kinds of job searches is to comb the posting for the jargon they use in their search for candidates. Then, use that lingo over and over in the interview. If that fails, you can guarantee yourself a hire by getting a slew of tattoos and piercings in conspicuous places. Good luck. It's a jungle out there.
